This is something that has been bothering me. Originally we set our date for Oct. 25 but changed it to Oct. 26 in the afternoon. I've been really obsessing with this lately. I really want an evening reception!!! Please let me know what you think and why? I will be keeping the date the same I'm just not too sure about the time.
i think it would be easier for guests on a sunday afternoon.
Is this a Saturday?

fh tried to convince me to have an afternoon wedding and my reasoning for not was because i just think it is more of a party feel in the evening, i think more ppl are going to drink and then i didnt want my wedding to just end at like 5pm...i always pictured going to a hotel and having the room all setup and enjoying the night with my husband....but for those girls who are having afternoon dont be offended its just my personal opinion

I feel like an evening wedding is a little more fun. And I understand that Sunday evening might be tough for some because of work the next morning, but you don't need to have a reception that goes until midnight... And with your wedding being at the end of Oct. it will get darker later, so that may work to your advantage.
i'm getting married on a sunday evening ... FH and i both decided that a night wedding would be more fun!!!
The one difference I've noticed between a Sunday afternoon and a Sunday evening wedding is that many people tend to leave prior to the reception actually being over because they have work in the morning. I'm sure the important people will stay the whole time but if this would be something that bothers you then I would definitely consider an afternoon wedding!
I say after noon! Which doesnt really make a difference because it will be dark in the afternoon. Why dont u do the late afternoon.
Evening!!! We are having ours July 13 which is a sunday. Cocktail starts at 6. I think evening weddings are more fun. People tend to drink more at night then during the day. and I didn't want to leave my party at 5 and then be like now what.

I know that if your family wanted to be at your wedding they will be there if it's a saturday sunday or wednesday!!! Alot of people have told me there taking the day off after my wedding. But if they didn't that wouldn't stop them from coming and even leaving early.

My wedding is a sunday afternoon. We chose this so our guests can stay the whole time and not worry about drinking too much to be hungover for work or staying out too late the night before work. Some of them don't live too close. Also, I thought there would be better photo opportunities if we got married during the day, it'd be daylight the whole time! We're also going to have an after party at the hotel after our reception so it's not like the party will really be over![]()
I voted for afternoon. But what about late afternoon. I think evening would be hard for some guests who have to work on the monday.
